That planet surely possesses an atmos.

and Mars has as much dry land rs II

badly differs very much from ours.
Yet it does possess both water and air.
and, So although the conditions OF life
there would vary widely from those
prevailing upon the earth, it is, upon
the whole, more reasonable to conclude
that life in some form exists upon Mars
than that il is u dead and deserted

Putting Things Away.

II seems the hardest matter. for some
TO acquire the habit OF putting things
where they belong, when they nave
done with them, and there are few
things more annoying to careful
house keeper, than TO he constantly
picking up after two or three OF these
nonconformists to neatness and order
1t is II small matter when one has
done with book, paper, work-baskcf
needle, thimble. scissors, etc., 10 pos
every article where IL belongs. but
where several misplace, and only one
has all the putting away TO do. ia
amounts 10 n regular task, and becomes
sufficient excuse for sharp words and
angry looks.
The same slovenly habit of scatter
ing things about, is extended somewhat
to articles of dress, and this. that. OF

cast off and left knocking about lila
wife, or mother, or some one, picks up
and puts away the offending article.
Mothers sometimes indulge their
bows in this habit Of scattering their be-
longings by making their sisters keep
order in their tracks. but this is injus-
tice TO brothers and sisters too, and oh,
such an injustice to future wives. How
many domestic jars grow out of this
very habit of slovenlincss on the pars
of husbands!
One of the greatest drawbacks which
the wife finds TO her enjoyment of the
society of her dual half. is this dsrc-
gard of neainess. we might almost say
aversion to it. AIRS. chute ia 50. Ions

HOME INDUSTRY.

As we predicted the completion of
the Montana Central railroad Widens
the commercial field of Great Falls.
The low rate of freight as compared
with that of the wagonmen, renders
it possible for our manufacturers to
compete with large commercial cen
tiers which have shipped goods into
Montana at through rates and have
thus managed to carry aWaymr1ch hard
cash that ought to have been retained
at home. The clothes and shoes we
wear, the food we eat and the beer
we drink are all nearly procured from
the east. We send wool to Massa-
chnsetts where it is made into cloth
which We buy, paying freight both
ways on the raw material therein. II

It ought to be understood right
here that Peck of the Benton Wool
Grower, or rather the wool growing
firm with which ne is connected, practi-
cally controls the entire range from
Belt creek bridge to Fort Benton, a
distance Of about 30 miles, by holding
the bottom lands, and controlling the
water. Should some of the fine bench
lands in this great area be brought I'M
der cultivation and settled upon, it
would to some extent break in on
Peck's grand range monopoly-hence
the frenzy manifested by him on ac-
count of the order of the general
land Office. Touch Peck's pocket and
every fiber of his person gives signs
Of sympathy.

has been clearly demonstrated by ex-
perience that Montana would be
much richer If the raw material were
manufactured where it is produced
and that the successive profits which
the consumers pay were thus re-
tanned in our own hands.
Agood beginning in this direction
has been made by the Cataract mill
of this city, which after gaining con
troll of the home market, has extended
it's business relations and has just
sold in Helena several carloads Of
flour and bran shorts. The Hell
ena merchants find that they car buy
on better terms from the Cataract
mill than they could from the Mime
apolis and Dakota producers from
whom they have hitherto procured
supplies. We are confident that this
flour made from Montana wheat and
ground in a Montana mill will be as
well liked in Helena as it is here.
The Cataract Mill Company is pre-
pared to extend it's machinery in pro-
portion to the demand. The swift
flowing Missouri provides the cheap
est motive power in the world and
will yet render this city the chief seat
of tie flour industry.

NOT EDWARDS.

The Butte Miner sees fit to say
that the squeal of the woolgrowers
against the presidents recommends
stions for a general decrease of the
tariff is another instance of the ex-
IRENE cowardice that has taken pos
session of the producers Of this coun-
try under the unhealthy influence of
a high tariff on imports" No, sir.
you wrong the Montana woolgrowers
when you accuse them of extreme
cowardice." In pluck and enterprise
they will compare favorably with any
producers in the world. Paris Glib
son and others who long in advance
of the railroad established wool grow
ing in northern Montana aud made it
a thriving industry were not towards.
They ask protection for wool in order
that the Australian and South Amer
lean surplus may not be dumped at
intervals in New York or Boston to
unsettle our markets and take the
place Of wool which should be pro-
duced at home. 1t is not "cowardice"
Of the Butte copper miners todemand
that the duty on foreign copper shall
be maintained although unlike the
woolgroWers) they are able to send
copper abroad at times and undersell
the British smelters in their own mar
ket. It was under protection that
this was accomplished and Mr.. Clark
and others do not propose to break
down the ladder by which they have
climbed. As an enterprising miner
and public spirited citizen Mr.. Clark
is des4vedly popular in northern
Montana. We all remember CRATE
fully that he sat down hard on Mr..
Dickerson when he opposed
in the Miner, the Cascade
county bill. We do not think that he
intends knowingly to connect himself
with such fellows as Peck in their
s'desert land' schemes; with the vile
brood Of land jumpers that. infest
Butte as well as northern Montana or
with those who accuse our wool pro-
ducers of "cowardice."

PROGRESS IN MONTANA

It appears from the tables prepar-
ed by auditor Sullivan, that the total
assessment Of Montana is S59,450,583.
This shows a net increase over last
years returns of A,373, I'll. This
increase is widely distributed, indi-
eating that both the farming and the
commercial or industrial counties
have all shared in the era Of prosper
ity which has dawned on this favored
territory. Deer Lodge shows an in
crease of S1.950, 154, due partly to her
progress in mining. Lewis and
Clarke adds SL679,065 to last years
assessment and shows a total Of $1O,-
767,840. Thrifty, enterprising Silver
Bow is small in extent, but she in
cludes the city of Butte and accord
ingly reports an assessment OF
S., 160, s29, an increase Of $556,229 on
the returns for 1886. Choteau ranks
fourth in assessed wealth. her total
being So 1911 55, which is $786,s73
more than last years amount. This
increase is due to the unjust valuation
of Great Falls property to crafty the
greed of the Ford ring, but the
county is undoubtedly prosperous
and is recovering rapidly from the
cattle losses of last winter. This
steady growth may be traced to that
combination of mining, agricultural
and commercial resources which this
county presents in better proportion
than any other.
In property the showing is also
creditable. There are in this terri
tory which Peck would make out to
be a desert capable only Of sup
porting sheep (which we all know
live in regions destitute Of moisture
and vegetation') 4,762,249 acres Of
assessabTe land. Our desert plains
and bench lands support I,062,141
sheep, 136,597 horses and 47I,I78
cattle. Combined with the dots and
improvements which amount to

A Graders story.

D. G. Shepherd, the railroad contrae-
tor, has the reputation of looking after
the minor and trifing details of this great
business with a very keen eye. One
morning, while out inspecting The work
on a railroad he was building, he picked
up a stray spike lying by the side Of the
track. Then he walked to where the
men were working on the road. Look
here" he called out to one Of the work
men, sshow is it that I find spikes lying
along the track wasted: / have to pay for
these things right along why, where
found it a little way up the road here"
aOh did YOUR cried the workman; I'm
real glad, for I've been hunting for that
spike all the forenoon; I knew there was
u missing The august contractor
concluded he could give that workman
no points on economy, and ..came off,
immediately.

Work,nsmen,s Clubs.

Returning to my memories Of London,
I recall a special feature of social life
among the democracy that is full of inter
est, | mean the workingmen's clubs, of
which / saw something. There must be
hundreds of them in London, not a few of
which hold meetings on Sunday in dingy
halls belonging to the pothouses or in
other quarters. Those that I saw were
clubs for debate upon given subjects or
upon essays written by the members.
The members sat around at ease beside
their mugs of ale on small stands, in an
atmosphere thick with the smoke from
their pipes, and the atmosphere was as
heavy with socialism as. with smoke. I
think it was Reynolds Weekly that |
found every Sunday a long list of these
clubs with the titles of the subjects of de-
bate, and certainly in many cases these
subjects led to thoughts perilous to the
existing order of things in England. One
cannot understand the recent demonstra-
tons in London without taking into ac-
count these plehian clubs. They are the
riils that feed the vast volume of humans
ity that swell up from time to time i'll
Hyde park and Trafalgar square or in the
professions through the streets. They
give the impulse to the substance of
which they themselves are the resurgent
spirit.
I found that in these breeding places of
revolt the burden of many a groan was
the tremendous contrast between the con-
ditions Of life for the rich and for the
poor. This contrast is ever before you in
London, and civilization does not furnish
a spectacle more menacing anywhere
John Stanton in the Minaedgo1ss journal,
